This publication contains a range of comparable, cross-national education indicators for 19 middle-income non-OECD countries (which comprise over half of the world population) including Argentina, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, and the Russian Federation. By analysing trends in these countries between 1995 and 2003 in comparison to OECD countries, it examines the extent to which countries were able to widen participation in higher levels of education and the factors involved. Coverage includes data on educational attainment, enrolment rates and patterns, female participation, entry rates into upper secondary and tertiary education, graduation rates, grade repetition, population and GDP, expenditure on education, teaching staff, class size, teachers salaries, and expenditure per student.
